Celebrating 20 years of Downtown Radio, this programme tracks the station from its inception to its current success, with interviews from notable figures in its history.
Don Anderson [Programme Controller 1976-78] speaks about the early days and how, when they first went on the air, the building was more like a building site and so the "main garb you wore was wellingtons". He also recalls that, despite people thinking otherwise, the first words ever spoken on the station were at 2am, when a microphone was accidentally switched on!
Popular character Candy Devine remembers feeling intimidated when she first joined, but soon found out she just needed to be "Can". Trevor Campbell ['Big T'] tells us of the anticipation and, also, frustration of the week delay at the beginning.
A big question for the station was what tone it was going for, whether it be "standardised BBC" or "how people actually speak". However, what Eamonn Mallie [Political Correspondent] points out, is that Downtown achieved success due to the public responding to the range of voices.
Also found in the footage is the first commercial on Downtown Radio for 'Cookstown Sausages', which was read by Derek Marsden and Cherrie McIlwaine and the formal opening of the station which was voiced by David Hannon.
